    Notes 
    • In Virgie Speight's "Old Timers of Sabine County, Texas," a column originally written September 26, 1963 about Dolly Wente Arnold was published, on the occasion of Dollie's Ninetieth Birth Anniversary. Dolly remembered her mother spinning thread and weaving cloth, skills which she learned as a child, but did not have to use after growing up. She continues to knit, crochet and embroider. Mrs. Arnold and her two sisters attended a private school in Hemphill taught by Miss Margaret Weatherred, and later went to Hemphill public school. (Speights, p. 22)

      At the time of the 1940 census, Dolly was living with her daughter and son-in-law, Della and John Cox, in Houston, Texas.
